In an order dated July 13 and released to media on Wednesday, July 18, the LTFRB asked Hype to explain – within 5 days from receipt of the order – why it charged P2 per minute of travel "without authority from the Board."

"Acting on a report forwarded by a concerned citizen to the Board, respondent Hype Transport Systems Incorporated is hereby ordered to show cause in writing, why its Certificate of Accreditation as a transportation network company (TNC) should not be suspended or canceled," reads the order signed by lawyer Carl Marbella of the LTFRB's legal division.

Hype was also asked to appear at a hearing on the matter on July 24 at 9 am.
